Pete was using a Gibson SG at that time. On the video it is seen at 
the London Colliseum, Tanglewood and The Isle of Wight (And maybe, 
I'm not sure, in Amsterdam). He also used it on L@L and probabely 
(not sure) at Woodstock. He switched to the Gibson Les Paul because 
he was unsatisfied with the new SG's (He did smash a lot of them). As 
far as I know he used the late 60's models. Those aren't made these 
days but maybe a newer model is still in production.
